Over the course of the last five years, Racing Rivals has grown into one of the most hardcore racing games in the world. This loyal community has spent countless hours competing in millions of races in “winner take all” fashion – all in the name of Turf Wars and pink slips.
However, all good things must come to an end… After spending time evaluating Rivals and its future – we’ve decided that it’s time to move on. Simply put, the revenue generated from Racing Rivals unfortunately no longer covers the cost of operations. This was not an easy decision to make.
On March 31st, 2019 – Rivals will be racing off into the sunset, and will be permanently shut down. Current players have until this date to utilize any accumulated virtual currency. We’ll be offering some massive reductions in the cost of crates, installs and repairs in addition to a reduction on timers as you race your way into the history books. Effective immediately, no new in-app purchases will be permitted.
In closing, a resounding and sincere THANK YOU to our extremely driven fans for your loyalty and dedication over the years – we hope you’ve enjoyed playing Racing Rivals as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.
This may be something to add down the road but the ability to tune each transmission gear ratio and the final-drive ratio would be a great addition. A system for this has been adopted by "Drag Racing" on the Play store and it would add an element of realism to the game as well as a hobby/edge for more hardcore players. Would also like to see a couple slots per car to save ratio tuning set-ups.
If CIE were to add a 1/2 mile and maybe even a 1 mile track as well this ratio tuning would almost need to be a prerequisite for adding track lengths since some cars will be gear limited on a 1/2 mile or 1 mile.
